ADVISORY SERVICES
The Commission can request the Secretary-General to provide expert consultants for specific countries as part of its technical assistance programme. A Commission resolution requests the Secretary-General to provide advisory services and other appropriate
assistance, and invites states, specialised agencies and other UN
organs and NGOs to lend support in reconstruction and development.
Consultants appointed by the Commission to advise Governments on
human rights are called Special Experts and report to the Commission
under the Advisory Services item. To date experts on specific
countries have been appointed in recognition of an improved internal situation (normally caused by a change of government). The
appointment of an expert has the effect of downgrading the
Commission's consideration of the situation.
